520    "From one of our greatest chroniclers of technology and 
       society, the definitive biography of iconic serial 
       visionary Stewart Brand, from the Merry Pranksters and the
       generation-defining Whole Earth Catalog to the marriage of
       environmental consciousness and hacker capitalism and the 
       rise of a new planetary culture--the story behind so many 
       other stories. Stewart Brand has long been famous if you 
       knew who he was, but for many people outside the 
       counterculture, early computing, or the environmental 
       movement, he is perhaps best known for his famous mantra 
       'Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.' Steve Jobs's endorsement of 
       these words as his code to live by is fitting; Brand has 
       played many roles, but one of the most important is as a 
       model for how to live. The contradictions are striking: a 
       blond-haired WASP with a modest family inheritance, he 
       went to Exeter and Stanford and was an army veteran, but 
       in California in the 1960s he was an artist and a 
       photographer in the thick of the LSD revolution. While 
       tripping on acid on the roof of his building, he 
       envisioned how valuable it would be for humans to see a 
       photograph of the planet they shared from space, an image 
       that in the end landed on the cover of his Whole Earth 
       Catalog, the defining publication of the counterculture. 
       He married a Native American woman and was committed to 
       protecting indigenous culture, which connected to a 
       broader environmentalist mission that has been a through 
       line of his life. At the same time, he has outraged 
       purists because of his pragmatic embrace of useful 
       technologies, including nuclear power, in the fight 
       against climate change. The famous tagline promise of his 
       catalog was 'Access to Tools'; with rare exceptions he 
       rejected politics for a focus on direct power. It was no 
       wonder, then, that he was early to the promise of the 
       computer revolution and helped define it for the wider 
       world. Unlike most people, who make a mark in one field, 
       Brand has a life that can be hard to fit onto one screen. 
       John Markoff, also a great chronicler of tech culture, has
       done something extraordinary in unfolding the rich, 
       twisting story of Brand's life against its proper 
       landscape. As Markoff makes marvelously clear, the streams
       of individualism, respect for science, environmentalism, 
       and embrace of Eastern and indigenous thought that flow 
       through Brand's entire life form a powerful gestalt, a 
       California state of mind that has a hegemonic power to 
       this day. At its best, it is the wellspring for a true 
       planetary consciousness that may be the best hope we 
       humans collectively have"--|cProvided by publisher.
